Hero Highlights- Miðgarðsormr

If my interview with the formidable Hanzo could be considered foolhardy, then this month’s interview, for anyone else, might be considered suicidal.

Frankly, even I might not have attempted it if, in another realm, I had not met and to the extent possible, befriended, the avatar of this force of nature. While his avatars seem to inhabit most dimensions, I met him in the dimension I was born in.

While I never approached his level of power, we were, for a time, league-mates, and I would like to think, friends (at least to the extent possible for such a being... probably more like a pet in his reckoning...)

I was happy to finally locate his avatar in this dimension and even happier that he agreed to our interview.

Without further ado-

K: Can you tell us your name, or would you prefer your Hero designation/code name?

M: I AM THE ONE KNOWN ASSSSSS Miðgarðsormr IN THE OLD NORSE, MEANS MIDGARD SSSSSERPENT OR WORLD SSSSSERPENT.

K: Can you tell us a little about your powers? Are all of your powers Morphon based?

M: IMMENSE POWER, AGILITY, RECOVERY, INSATIABLE HUNGER... I AM NEVER DESTROYED... I HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING... THE POWERS ALL COME FROM THE DISAMBIGUATION, THE BEGINNING OF ALL WHEN THE ONE WAS DIVIDED INTO THREE... KNOWN AS GOOD, EVIL, AND MYSELF... MY SEEMINGLY NEVER-ENDING QUEST IS TO BRING ALL BACK TO THE ONENESS THUS DESTROYING THIS ENTIRE EXISTENCE...

K: Is there anything else you'd care to add?

M: THIS REALM SEEMS ALREADY RIPE FOR DESSSSTRUCTION... CORRUPTION AND HUBRISS... I BROUGHT ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE OLD SIMILAR WORLD AND I WAS VERY MUCH RESSSPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF THISSSS REALITY, WHICH SSSSOME HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE, TO REFLECT THE NORTH MEN'S LAMENT... IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE THE GJALLARHORN WILL BE SSSSSSOUNDED AND ALL THAT SSSSSURVIVE WILL BE FORCED TO FLEE TO ALTERNATE REALITIESSSSSSSS...

K : Well, I am gratified that we were able to become reacquainted before that occurred then.
